A Philatelic Ramble through Chemistry

Praise for the Hardcover Edition

‘This is a gem of a book. […] I recommend it to all those to whom chemistry means more than an academic discipline, but a multifaceted part of human culture, as Heilbronner and Miller so beautifully demonstrated.’ (Interdisciplinary Science Reviews)

‘The creation of an exceptional book must be driven not only by knowledge but also by passion. This book by two chemists, Heilbronner and Miller, is clearly the product of a love for the world of postage stamps as well for chemistry in its widest sense.’ (Advanced Materials)

‘It is the kind of book published only once in a generation. I can whole-heartedly recommend it to any chemist and even to non-chemists who enjoy art.’ (Chromatographia)

‘As a history of chemistry this book would be worth reading. As a compendium of stamps with chemical themes it is a must for chemist stamp collectors. Combine the two and you have a book for all chemist.’ (Chemistry in Britain)
